Clustering of patients with bronchial asthma with regard to the genotypes for Bcl1 polymorphism in the glucocorticoid receptor gene

Conclusions: Cluster analysis of BA patients with regard to the genotypes of VcI1 polymorphism demonstrated 3 different BA subphenotypes that differed from each other in sex, BA course and control, values of respiratory function, BMI and inflammatory markers. These can contribute to individual approach to diagnostics and treatment of BA in the future.
